Illustrated by
Adrian Reynolds.
Hyena plays a joke by placing a banana peel in Giraffe's path. This launches a chain of events that causes discomfort to Hippo, Snake, Ostrich, and other creatures. Although Hyena laughs hysterically, he receives his comeuppance when he falls in "a huge, steaming heap of Elephant's poo!" Bright, cartoony illustrations aptly picture the marginally funny story's chaotic events.
